I recently picked up Sellswords of Punjar to train a new group of 4e players. I don't have a very good visual imagination, so I've become a papercraft guy (I hang out over at Cardboard-Warriors.proboards.com mostly.) Every year there's a contest for user built dioramas. Well... I built Cutpurse alley, completely playable, mostly out of paper for my group and for the contest.

I've just recently dipped my toe into papercraft modeling (I haven't actually built anything yet, but I've bought some cardstock paper and some pdf model sets; I've no doubt got some serious practice to do before I can produce something like that!

Has Harley seen this yet? He's going to love it!

That compliment made my day!

I should probably share my play photos from my papercraft-powered Isle of the Sea Drake, too. What do you think?

How are you doing this, anyway? Color printer I hope... I mean, you're not painting/airbrushing this crap on standard cardstock and gluing it together yourself are you? If so, you must be independently wealthy... cannot imagine the time cost!

Pretty nuts... looks great.

Most of the buildings were made using a product called TerraClips (the thick cardboard and clips you can see) - which I modified using some nippers, paper-coverings, and stickers printed with the tile-textures. Available from your FLGS: http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/in ... roduct=154

The small wall in the front is from Dave Graffam Games, who makes some of the most lovely terrain I've build, including a lot of buildings (but most of them do not have playable interiors, something I wanted for this adventure.) http://www.davesgames.net/

BTW, all these companies have free kits to get you <strike>hooked</strike>started.

The props throughout are from many kits, mostly downloaded from RPGNow.com - if you look at my (OldSchoolDM) posts on Cardboard Warriors you can find photos of my builds of these props. I share the "cut files" (source files for automatic paper cutters) for models I make there. http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com ... ldschooldm

The paper figures are what the cardboard-warriors forum is all about. There are literally dozens of designers there and thousands of minis, of which hundreds are free! (Most of the figures outside the gate were free from Drywtheharper: http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com ... wtheharper) I also bought some paper figures from Paizo (though they were originally intended to be tent-fold standups before I used my cutter....)

Hope that helps?

Here's a photo of my first adventure using paper buildings. And they were almost all free!

I thought the lower right of the map was water... Did you re-jigger it for your game, or did I re-jigger it for mine???

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be the warehouse (the ladder to the beggar-kings lair is inside) - the double doors lead to the courtyard (center bottom). I changed the warehouse to be rectangular instead of triangular for ease of building - since it wasn't particularly a nagivation challenge for the players (unlike the Alley itself, which needed to be angled...)

Had a look back at my notes, because it was bugging me... I had re-jiggered it, partly because when looking at the map before reading the adventure, I thought that light green/brown bit with the sheen on it was water... I moved the warehouse to under the other structures, since the stairs go down to the courtyard, and made the corner triangle water, accessible through those double doors, or by way of an "escape ladder" from 1-14.

Punjar: Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Which helps grog sales immensely...

I was also hoping that you are printing the pieces before assembly and not painting because that would probably take forever. I love how even the photos show the varying textures and the colours clearly show the distinct features. I've always been fascinated by this art but clearly, I am too lazy to commit. Congrats!
